    Really a surprise! Beautiful
    The movie was a surprise, I found a non conventional story that had the power to keep me intrigued in the trama which is normally extremely rare.

    The acting was good, to be considered that harry style is just at the beginning he did a good job in a difficult role .

    In the movie , with beautiful screenplay, you end it up in finding charme , elegance , passion , love , drama , humanity and more .

    Also the female part was really a difficult one , she was able to keep a balance accepting in the end the passionate love of the two lovers male .

    Everyone of the roles followed their path till the end .

    Love triangle, forbidden love, good performances
    My Policeman is the story of a love triangle between two men and a woman, and a forbidden love between the two men in 1957 in Britain. There are two sets of actors who play the older and younger versions of the characters. They were all good, but I particulary liked the excellent young cast. Young Tom, (Harry Styles), is a hunky, rookie policeman; young Marion, (Emma Corrin), is a teacher; young Patrick, (David Dawson), Tom's lover, is a museum curator. The camera loves certain people; Harry Styles is one of those people. He played Tom with a disarming innocence.

    The story time jumps between 1999 - 2000, when the Tom and Marion are retired and Marion takes Patrick in to help him heal after he had a stroke, and 1957 - 1958 when the three meet. In 1999, Tom does not want Patrick in his house and refuses contact with him. Much of the story is relayed through flashbacks as Marion reads Patrick's diary. It's disturbing to watch the judgment and violence that gay men had to endure in 1950s America. The relationships are well developed, nuanced, and complex. I liked the film.
